Reminder: Spring / Summer program registration begins Sunday, March 17 at 6:00 p.m.

Registration for the City’s Spring / Summer recreation programs begins Sunday, March 17, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. by logging into to your account on Leisure Online at leisureonline.saskatoon.ca, or by calling 306-975-2800.

Registrations for private and semi-private swim lessons will open on Monday, March 18. Registrations are accepted by phone only. Call the Leisure Centre you are interested in taking lessons at to register. 

Opening night for registration is very busy, and the City sincerely thanks residents for their patience. While additional online and telephone resources are in place to make the process run as smoothly as possible, there will be many people registering at once.

Here are some tips to help you prepare for a smooth registration:

• Do not use Internet Explorer to complete transactions. Compatible web browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Ensure your web browser is up to date. Online transactions are not supported using a device or operating system older than Windows 7, Mac OS 10, Android 5, iPhone 5.
• Ensure you have an active Leisure Online registration account and know your username and password prior to registration night. If you are unable to access your account, call any Leisure Centre to have your account reset. 
• Have a list of second and third program choices in case you do not get into your first choice.
• Join the wait list! Every full program has an online wait list and new classes may be created if there is enough demand.
• Consider other nearby Leisure Centres if your preferred location isn't available.

Several changes have been made to Leisure Online to optimize the site on registration night. From 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 17, access to view drop-in programs will be disabled. Only the registered program section will be available at that time. Images will also be removed from the registered programs page to improve the load time of the page when a high volume of users are on the site at the same time.

Leisure program registrations processed through Leisure Online are now charged an additional $1.00 (+GST) convenience fee on each program registration. This fee was introduced March 1, 2024 after City Council approved the fee during the 2024-25 budget process in November of 2023. The revenue from the convenience fee will help support the City’s operating budget. 

The City of Saskatoon’s online payment provider is unable to process American Express transactions for leisure program registrations through Leisure Online. Alternative forms of payment for online registrations processed through Leisure Online include Visa and Mastercard. 

The Spring / Summer Leisure Guide, which is Saskatoon’s go-to source for fitness programs, recreational activities and arts and culture opportunities for all ages and abilities, was released on March 1. It is available online at saskatoon.ca/leisureguide or for pick up at any City leisure facility, Saskatoon library or over 120 retail locations throughout Saskatoon and limited surrounding areas that the StarPhoenix is sold.
